Unbound Sorcery Magus 2020 Teone Reinthal Natural Perfumes
Eva Creel
One has always heard in stories from childhood and from histories, legends, and religious texts the name of the Magus, be it in Greek Magos, Latin Magus or Old Persian Magi. Those whom were purported to be members of an ancient priestly chaste, of sages and alchemists. Those who conjured the elements and worked in transmutation and transfiguration. Certainly the name itself conjures a firm understanding and imagery, yet there is so much more. Magus from Teone Reinthal Natural Perfumes, as one component of the Conte des Fees trilogy, turns the pages of a musty forbidden book for us and shifts our ordinary perspective of Magus to the extraordinary, as in all good fairy stories, lifting to our world- weary eyes a kaleidoscope of perfumed airs, aether borne. In Magus, liquid bound, are arcane glimpses into hitherto rarely seen voids that contain all, the magnetism of embodied nature, forces universal translated in Teone’s hands.

It is the most intriguing concoction, thick with all manner of brewed portents akin to the air just before a lightning strike. First contact, Jasmine is full of night heavy intoxication, as eyelids weighted and fall on the verge of sleeping and dreaming, for it is here in the betwixt and between that the revolving spheres of the Magus dwell. Just beyond the veil of waking an ethereal rose warmed with spices of cloves and cardamom gives form to the formless, so hypnotic, the tenebrous fragments bought forth like airs of memory drawn from the recesses of time. Magus, steps forward extending the invitation, ride upon me, call forth from root and stem, summon down earth and sky and let planets reset their orbits.

The Magus knows the infintesimal secrets of the universe, what resides within the in between, the finite and infinite worlds, he/she is able to reach within and conjure the very essences of all nature. In this he/she can tease forth the very soul of the components, in Magus as in all her perfumes, Teone is an adept. Magus contains pure and unadulterated expressions of its parts, it is nothing less than preciousness distilled, bought together in a seamless symphony that plays out upon your flesh, one exquisite opus after another. Even after the elapse of time still it wafts around me like a sensual wraith changing timbre and suffused with a stilled silence that contains whispered intonements.
I have caught this scent or the signature of it, in the dimly-lit alleyways of a Middle Eastern desert town, close enough to catch sand laden winds, on the edge of oasis, a scent of ages, the strata of time imprinted in the vestments of zephyrs, unbound millennia revealed for few moments. Magus walks you through the walls of time, rending them as it passes.

There are a myriad subsenses under the radar that are awakened with perfume, it grants us a signpost to the minutiae and to infinite beauty. Magus is a catalyst and mirrors the path of the Magnus Opus as it revels and cavorts on skin, travelling that sublime path from human fragility to Soul enduring strength, the alchemical lead transmuted to gold, armouring us in such times as these with the knowledge that this too shall pass and we endure.
